Description

This extension prevents default actions (forward/back history jumps) for mouse side buttons (4 and 5)

FAQ:
Q: Why do you need a permission to change contents for all websites?
A: Because it allows this extension to inject 5 lines of JavaScript code into webpages, preventing default mouse actions. You can verify the contents of injected code using dev tools (F12) -> Sources -> Content scripts (on the left side) -> FFMSB. Contents of this file are also provided in screenshots section because there's nothing else to take screenshots of :)

Q: IT DOES NOT WOOOOORK :((((
A: It does, except for 2 cases :)
1. Chrome Web Store (extensions are not allowed to use content scripts here due to security reasons)
2. Chrome menus, including the entire top bar (again, it's impossible to intercept shortcuts while your mouse is there)

Q: Who is this made for?
A: For people who use these buttons in other applications running alongside Chrome - for example, in VOIP software as push-to-talk button

What has inspired us?

Extore is a team of professionals who are passionate about creating extensions for web browsers. This devotion also gives us opportunity to appreciate work of other people. We get inspired by useful, open source extensions made by developers all over the world. Our strong belief is that one should share helpful add-ons with others. That’s why we’d like to present you our ever-growing list of favourite extensions that have inspired us. Moreover, as you probably have already learned, sometimes struggling for the best brings an end to the good. Talking about add-ons it often turns out that an upgrade is worse then previous version. Also it can become really tricky to get back to the beloved version of your favourite extension. That’s why we’re going to make not only the latest, but all versions of our favourite (and we hope yours too) add-ons available for download. No more compromises, just stick to the version you really like!
